Yesterday the Smart Boy and I went to Greeley to check out the University of Northern Colorado as a possible college destination. If he decides to pursue a career in teaching, he'll probably end up there. It's a charming campus, small and well kept. UNC is considered a regionally ranked school, and tends to be the "go-to" place for people who want to be teachers.

Today we'll be heading up to Boulder to visit the University of Colorado. If the Smart Boy chooses to pursue a career in physics, he'll probably end up there. It's a nationally ranked university, with an excellent science program.

Of course, like most 17 year olds, the Smart Boy is having trouble deciding what route he wants to take. That's not a surprise. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

He's going to apply to three schools, and he won't have to make a decision until it comes time to actually accept any acceptances that come his way.

Heh. Tell him to look at the University of Florida if he's interested in Physics. Their program is one of the better ones in the south... and he'll get a bit of a different experience than from someplace much like what he's already experienced.

Add to that that Gainesville is a college town very much like Boulder.

About Me

I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I'm a Trustee for my local library, because LIBRARIES. I care about science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I like to color, I aspire to run faster than I do, and I donate knitted cold weather gear to various charities. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.
